Re: Halloween Marathon to Support Anatotitan

Trying to get a gage on interest here. Some of my dnd group and others could bust out some old skool terror THE TOMB OF HORRORS!! But only if there is interest. I don't want to kill the stream if there's no audience for it.

Re: Halloween Marathon to Support Anatotitan

I can speedrun Parasite Eve in roughly 3 1/2 hours, and take donations for naming Aya (beginning of the game) and her final weapon/armor (before the final boss).

PE doesn't let you skip cutscenes or battles, so I can promise much in the way of creepiness/freakiness!

I'm available all weekend except for overnight hours (2AM-10AM EST), so 10PM EST is the latest I'd be able to start. Looking forward to doing my part to help out Lindsey, especially after all the amazing work she's done for so many different charity marathons!

Re: Halloween Marathon to Support Anatotitan

Hey there! Ana's done a lot of awesome work for our charity marathons over at SDA, and I know how rough it can be with medical bills since I was an uninsured diabetic for many years. So even though I'm not really an active member of TSG other than watching some marathons and donating a couple times, I'd love to help out a bit and take part in this.

I'd like to volunteer a few Castlevania games that I speed run.

- Castlevania: Symphony of the Night; 30 minutes safe estimate for any%, 45 minutes safe estimate for all bosses. I don't care which category I run, so you can choose whatever's more convenient for scheduling. I can do the usual "choose the cape color" donation incentive I have for SDA marathons and showing off the opening/ending cutscenes if you like.

- Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, Julius mode; 1 hour safe estimate. Sometimes I still randomly die to late-game bosses (I'm looking at YOU, Death!) so I gotta have some cushion for the estimate. Also, I have a direct capture for DS, so there shouldn't be any worries about how the stream looks for this game.

- Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow; 40 minutes safe estimate. This is pretty much going to be a glitchy showcase like SotN.

I can do afternoon or evening (before midnight Eastern) on any of the days, but prefer to play on Saturday or Sunday. My internet has been pretty unstable late at night for some reason, so that's out. @_@ I hope this thing raises a bunch, she deserves it!

Re: Halloween Marathon to Support Anatotitan

Hey, sorry this is going seem a bit off and probably make blau a bit mad..

But I wouldn't mind stepping up and doing an actual run of Sweet Home. I can do it either on the console (i have a famicom and a cart) or doing it emulated. It won't be a blind playthrough, but I can do it about any style that is needed. If you need to know why I'm volunteering, Lindsay is awesome and well I have the WR for it.
The only thing is the standard WR strats involve only using 3 of the 5 members (2 get left at the start) but you still see their names in all combats due to how the interface works, They still survive. I could be talked into doing a # of survivors run instead of the standard full 5... but i doubt people would really want this. If you want a time estimate, 1:30 can account for anything and everything with the game (for speed). If you want any challenges or anything i'd have to plan them out a bit.

I can also do CV:Lords of Shadow or The 3rd Birthday (Parasite Eve 3..?), but I'd need to know ASAP about either to get back into shape for them. Unfortunately for CV:Lords of Shadow i do NOT have HD capabilities so it'd be an SD stream...

Best of luck and lets do our best!

edit: I forgot to post times, at the moment i'm job searching so until i find something i'm completely open, though i tend to be a bit more of a night owl.

Re: Halloween Marathon to Support Anatotitan

Jeez, actual speedruners. I'm gonna look horrible. About Black Mesa, I still don't know exactly how long it's gonna take me. Also if you guys can actually fill the stream with games that are more horror based I don't mind commentating instead. It's not 100% ill be able to do this just to let people know.

Re: Halloween Marathon to Support Anatotitan

I would love to see your Sweet Home run, actually, Rane. I only volunteered for it since its an obscure title and I didn't think anyone else would volunteer for it. I will definitely step down for that. Also it seems you and I have a lot of the same taste in games, except you are way better than I am XD

The only games I was dead set on doing are the Ghosts 'N' Goblins Gold Knights games and to a lesser extent, Home. I think Home would be most entertaining if done blind and commentated over by the player. I've already played it once, but I can play it very differently and make it a new experience, though I already know most of the tricks designed to make you jump.
